WikiLinks provide easy linking between pages of the wiki. To create a
[[WikiLink]], just put the name of the page to link to in double brackets.
For example \[[WikiLink]]
.
If you ever need to write something like \[[WikiLink]]
without creating a
wikilink, just prefix it with a \
, like \\[[WikiLink]]
.
There are some special [[SubPage/LinkingRules]] that come into play when
linking between [[SubPages|SubPage]].
Also, if the file linked to by a WikiLink looks like an image, it will
be displayed inline on the page.
WikiLinks are matched with page names in a case-insensitive manner, so you
don't need to worry about getting the case the same, and can capitalise
links at the start of a sentence, and so on.
It's also possible to write a WikiLink that uses something other than the page
name as the link text. For example \[[foo_bar|SandBox]]
links to the SandBox
page, but the link will appear like this: [[foo_bar|SandBox]]. The reason you
have to use underscores in place of spaces in WikiLinks is so that
ikiwiki
can distinguish your WikiLink from a PreProcessorDirective.
(Note: previously, you could actually use spaces if you specify the target
link following the pipe symbol (|
), as in the above, but this has been
disabled shortly after version 2.8).
To link to an anchor inside a page, you can use something like
\[[WikiLink#foo]]
